The Dresden Dolls Reunion!

I have a big ole smiley face on me - those lovable punk cabaret raggamuffins, Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione, are getting back together again as The Dresden Dolls and will celebrate their union in New York at Halloween. Here is how they announced it to the world:



Brian looks very cute in his frock.

The Dolls then do a short tour around America:

The trick is, of course, to somehow lure them onto an aeroplane to London and then kidnap them and force them to play a London gig. Or maybe two. And then lock them in a studio to record another album. Maybe a double-album. Stranger things have happened.

I am officially delighted with this news... Long live the punk cabaret!
